It came down to it
we had to go our separate ways
you held me in a long embrace and put your lips to mine
ever so softly.
You took 2 steps, then came running back
to my arms so safe and warm
that is where you were meant to be.
Now 6 steps
then you turned
looked at me with those longing blue eyes
and I ran to you.
Just one more kiss.
One more hug.
One last goodbye.
I prayed for time to stand still
so that we could stay in that perfect moment
full of potential.
Please don’t leave me.
Don’t take everything we had with you
don’t take my heart.
We shared our last kiss.
Our last hug
and the final goodbye.
You walked out the door with the string to my heart
clenched in your fist.
I feel it tighten whenever you think of me.
I don’t know how many steps it took for you to walk away
but I’m glad you were the one to walk.
My legs gave out and i hit the floor.
Drops of mascara and salt water splashed onto the floor.
This was it,
the last time i’d see you walk away.
